- Mikeb85 10y ago> Maybe India as a last resort (India's protected the Dalai Lama for many decades). India didn't exactly have to put anything on the line for this considering the Dalai Lama was sponsored by the CIA when he first went into exile... Edit - downvotes but no response? It's well known that the CIA was involved in the Tibetan uprising that forced the Dalai Lama into exile, and that he was on their payroll at the time. Not even conspiracy theory stuff, just documented history.
- dandelion_lover 10y ago>just documented history People from HN expect links when you use such words. Could be the reason for downvotes I guess.
- nothrabannosir 10y agoThere is a point where that stops, no? I mean we don't provide links to the wikipedia page for the Holocaust... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA_Tibetan_program https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA_Tibetan_program

- Spooky23 10y agoThis is common knowledge if you're even remotely aware of Tibet issues. It's an easy thing to forget that not everyone knows about this stuff. At my university in the 90s, Free Tibet was a thing and it was impossible to not learn about!
